Recipe type: Snack, Appetizer, Dessert
Cuisine: Caribbean

  • Frozen empanada disks 1 Pack
  • 1 package of low fat softened cream cheese 12 Oz.
  • 1 can of guava paste cut into small cubes 16 Oz.
  • Vegetable oil
  • Powdered sugar
  • bowl with water
Preparation
  1. Take each empanada disc and place a piece of your guava paste in the middle, then spoon a teaspoon of cream cheese on top. Fold the empanada in half to create a half moon shape.
  2. Dip your finger in water and wet the rounded side of your half moon. Using a fork, press on the round part to seal in your filling. Continue to do for the rest of your empanadas.
  3. Heat a large PTFE Nonstick saute pan or caldero and add oil to coat the whole pan.
  4. Once heated, add 2 or 3 empanadas, so they fit side by side. Cook on one side until golden brown then flip to do the same on the other. Once the empanada “bubbles” up, place on a platter lined with paper towel to let cool and soak up any excess oil.
  5. Sprinkle powdered sugar and serve warm
